Nice way to present homemade bread as a gift! I have a ton of flour sacks I could use, but I love your striped fabric too. New subscriber!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for subscribing :)
Just started my sourdough journey and didn’t know how to store it until I came across your video. Thank you……..now I know how! 👍🙂
Oh I'm glad it was helpful!
Just what i was looking for! Thank you!
This was lovely -- what a pleasure to watch and learn.
Thank you so much :)
Great tut!! Don't iron on wood folks its a good way to burn the wood and ruin your iron!
Wow does that really keep the bread fresh? I must try it!!!
It really does, it’s pretty amazing!
Very creative ❤
Thank you!
@@thesimplehomeplace I’ve made my own bread bag today following your video and it worked great, I used an old shirt from my kids 😂, Iam in love with my new bag, just baking a homemade fresh bread to go in . All the best to you and family. God bless you ❤. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
@@mirian593 Ahh that's amazing! Great job and I'm so glad you love it 😊 Thank you so much ❤
Such a great video!
thank you so much!
Excelente👍
Really cool video , nice flow and great tutorial 👌👌
thank you so much!
That looks so cool! Does the bag keep the bread fresh for a long time?
Thank you! It keeps bread fresh for about 3 days. I like this option because then I don't have to store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and we usually eat it within three days anyway!
Two questions:
1. Could the dye in the fabrics be a problem?
2. How well would you say the bread would freeze in these bags?
Great questions! I personally don't have a problem with the dyes in the fabric, but if you're worried you can always use organic cotton or linen. You can freeze bread in these bags for a short period time, but if you're looking for a longer term storage, then I would recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap and store in an airtight bag. Hope that helps!
Fold in half which way?
Width wise. So if you're measuring the length of the fabric, fold up at the middle, not from left to right. In other words, the two shorter sides of the fabric should be together;
What are the measurements for the single loaf? Thank you!
Hi Emily! Below are the directions. You can also see the blog post for more info:
aspenonmain.com/reusable-bread-bags/
1. Cut a piece of 100% cotton fabric that is 30 inches long by 9 inches wide.
2. Fold the cut piece of fabric in half (hamburger style) with the wrong side facing out. You should now have a piece that is 15 inches by 9 inches.
3.Repeat the same process above to complete the one loaf bread bag.
Thank you :)
What weight linen? There is sheer handkerchief and ticking weights, etc
In my tutorial, I'm using a 100% cotton shirting material, but I would say a linen and cotton blend would work well too. You want the bag to be breathable. I'm not sure if that totally answers your question, but hopefully it helps!
I want to make this for my baguettes? Should I just measure my baguette pan for length and diameter…how much extra should I add on do you reckon …
I would yes, measure your baguette pan length and width. For the length, double that number, then add 4 inches. For the width, add 1 inch. That should give you the correct size fabric, then just follow the tutorial the same way. I'd love to hear how it turns out if you make it!
@thesimplehomeplace thank you so much! Going to the fabric store today 😀 I will let you know how it goes!
